Quantum many-body scars and Hilbert space fragmentation: a review of exact results

S Moudgalya, BA Bernevig… - Reports on Progress in …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The discovery of quantum many-body scars (QMBS) both in Rydberg atom simulators and in
the Affleck–Kennedy–Lieb–Tasaki spin-1 chain model, have shown that a weak violation of …

Topological flat band models and fractional Chern insulators

EJ Bergholtz, Z Liu - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2013 - World Scientific
Topological insulators and their intriguing edge states can be understood in a single-particle
picture and can as such be exhaustively classified. Interactions significantly complicate this …

Hilbert space fragmentation and commutant algebras

S Moudgalya, OI Motrunich - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
We study the phenomenon of Hilbert space fragmentation in isolated Hamiltonian and
Floquet quantum systems using the language of commutant algebras, the algebra of all …

Ergodicity breaking arising from Hilbert space fragmentation in dipole-conserving Hamiltonians

P Sala, T Rakovszky, R Verresen, M Knap, F Pollmann - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We show that the combination of charge and dipole conservation—characteristic of fracton
systems—leads to an extensive fragmentation of the Hilbert space, which, in turn, can lead …

Thermalization and its absence within Krylov subspaces of a constrained Hamiltonian

S Moudgalya, A Prem, R Nandkishore… - Memorial Volume for …, 2022 - World Scientific
We study the quantum dynamics of a simple translation invariant, center-of-mass (CoM)
preserving model of interacting fermions in one dimension (1D), which arises in multiple …

Statistical localization: From strong fragmentation to strong edge modes

T Rakovszky, P Sala, R Verresen, M Knap, F Pollmann - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Certain disorder-free Hamiltonians can be nonergodic due to a strong fragmentation of the
Hilbert space into disconnected sectors. Here, we characterize such systems by introducing …

Topological Characterization of Fractional Quantum Hall Ground States from<? format?> Microscopic Hamiltonians

MP Zaletel, RSK Mong, F Pollmann - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We show how to numerically calculate several quantities that characterize topological order
starting from a microscopic fractional quantum Hall Hamiltonian. To find the set of …

Quantum many-body scars in a Landau level on a thin torus

S Moudgalya, BA Bernevig, N Regnault - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study a kinetically constrained pair-hop** model that arises within a Landau level in
the quantum Hall effect. At filling ν= 1/3, the model exactly maps onto the so-called “PXP …

[HTML][HTML] Preparing quantum many-body scar states on quantum computers

EJ Gustafson, ACY Li, A Khan, J Kim… - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
Quantum many-body scar states are highly excited eigenstates of many-body systems that
exhibit atypical entanglement and correlation properties relative to typical eigenstates at the …

Exact matrix product states for quantum Hall wave functions

MP Zaletel, RSK Mong - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2012 - APS
We show that the model wave functions used to describe the fractional quantum Hall effect
have exact representations as matrix product states (MPS). These MPS can be implemented …
